In August, insiders told Life & Style how their relationship began. “They met through mutual friends in New York and hit it off,” the insider said to the outlet. “They’ve been seeing a lot of each other over the summer. Reese wasn’t expecting to find romance, but she has.”

“She loves to talk business and money and ways to invest, and he’s so knowledgeable,” they added. “The attraction grew from there. She’s loving the attention and is seeing where all this will go.”

As a reminder, this is the first man Witherspoon has dated since her divorce from Jim Toth in the spring of 2023. With Toth, she shares son Tennessee, 11, as well as kids Ava, 24, and Deacon, 20, with her first husband Ryan Phillippe.

Haarmann, on the other hand, was once married to businesswoman Mala Gaonkar (she is now dating musician David Byrne). The former couple share two sons.

Looks like they’ve met their match!
